Abstract excerpt
Propionibacterium freudenreichii (P. freudenreichii) has various biotechnological applications, notably in the ripening of Swiss-type cheese, where it utilizes the two enantiomers of lactate as the main carbon source, contributing to flavor development and eye formation. Here, we genotypically characterized two P. freudenreichii strains unable to catabolize L-lactate through whole-genome sequencing and variant...
